The best way to use it and which also speeds up fsx loading time, is to simply simply disable the areas you are not using.If you only fly in Europe for example, then temporarily disable other add-ons I the US for instance. It works really well. Cheers

.. a virtual coat? of course you silly Billy.

...just noticed, goat is an anagram of TOGA - Now that's spooky. If I said I had a beard you would of course know what sort

Nanuary next year I believe I believe the developers are working on the follow up. Mountain goat x. You know, difficult approaches and the like.

How much RAM do you need for this ?

Well,actually I run 10.25 with the HD mesh using HD5770 (1Gb) and get around 30fps on average. That's with terrain on high but HDR turned off. BTW th's with the latest catalyst/driver release (13.9 I believe).

Some fair points there Ray. I myself have'nt bought it since I generally fly 2-3 hour routes. I suspect part of the reason for the seemingly high purchase price maybe to do with piracy. I'm sure that within a short time, this,like loads of other flightsim addons,will be pirated and hence PMDG have to factor this into their marketing.Just a thought.

Komrad Ron, I just love these proper old lumps. Reminds me of the days when men were men and Russia was CCCP. Keep up the good work - if not,you will be sent to work in a tractor factory in Siberia...

Saitek support is first rate. My throttle quadrant developed a fault - they then replaced yoke and quadrant with a week. Can't argue with that.

Thanks a lot for taking the trouble to reply guys - much appreciated. You certainly have given me lots to consider. Take care

Hi folks, Just one question really; I intend putting together a new rig for FSX and XP10. Money is no object to the build and I have no real preferences to brands etc. That said, I have always used (and liked) ATI cards and gigabyte boards. I live in the UK. All suggestions on components / cooling and anything else are most welcome. Cheers

.... a mere baby at 58 ! Flying real stuff/full-motion sims since mid 70'S (Thats the 1970's Ron...) and I still have some hair left......

Worked fine for me. No real differences/improvements however, I would say that the colours seem more vibrant. I realise that is of course, subjective.
